I personally do not like to go to twitter.com for knowing updates. Rather, I prefer a desktop Twitter client like TweetDeck. And why not, I get a better interface there with better options and easy access. It has different column for different task, be it direct messages, mentions or simple tweets. Recently while browsing the internet, I came across an interesting web based Twitter client known as Multwiple, which provides an interface very similar to what TweetDeck does. One great feature of Multwiple is the support of multiple Twitter accounts. Here, ...

Twitter is planning to come up with its official retweet button for sharing contents on blogs and websites. This can cause a huge setback to Tweetmeme which currently powers most of the retweet buttons found on web. Twitter`s official retweet button will also show the number of times, the page has been tweeted. The retweet button will be available in 3 different form factors with different settings. The first one is of size 110 x 20mm, having counter as well along with horizontal display. The second type is of dimension 55 ...

We all know how big Twitter is getting; recently it crossed the milestone of achieving 20 billion tweets. It is also used effectively as a micro-blogging platform. Indeed, it is a nice place to share information, facts and figures. Not only these, it has become a great platform even to share photos and videos. However, after the image is being uploaded, it goes down in the twitter database and it is very difficult to search for that image after a longer duration. Twtimage is a newly introduced web service which lets you ...

How Could Twitter not get involved in such a Gala event like Football World cup? Yes that’s true because Twitter has introduced an official Twitter World Cup Page that lets you follow the live tweets of the world cup 2010, including your favourite team. You can also join the conversation and share your passion for the world cup and your team through your tweets. The discussions on this page seem to be never ending and it clearly expresses that all the FIFA Flow has started now. Players are warming up alongside, ...

In my previous post, I presented some of the problems that Twitter is facing. However, Twitter is moving ahead, now it will soon be using t.co as its URL shortner. Thus a long link such as http://www.amazon.com/Delevering-Happiness-Profits-Passion-Purpose/dp/0446563048 will be wrapped to http://t.co/DRo0trj . All the t.co based links will be of fixed 20 characters. However, the best part is the link t.co will let you know where the links are going. This is possible because Twitter is including metadata with each tweet. Another positive effect that it will add to Twitter is ...

The world of Twitterosphere is expanding enourmously. It seems that it is becoming very hard for Twitter to manage huge amount of tweets. Two days back when WWDC was on the move, Twitter went down.

Again, if we go back to the time when Twitter changed its policy over trending topics, Twitter was not able to handle the response. To cope up with this, Twitter has now nearly doubled its employee list. ...
